Yes. I did changes for 2.1.78, and (at least) it works fine for me.
I'm maintaining current PLIP code. I believe that it's the first
SMP-friendly (no cli/sti) network driver of Linux in the world. :-)
Yes, it works on SMP machine as well.

For me, no. Currently, I don't have any plan to do so, as I don't
know any standard method to do it. With no standard cable that we can
buy at computer shop easily, I won't try to implement bidirectional
PLIP.
Please feel free to hack on it.
Or do you know any exinsting standard method to connect parallel port
machine-to-machine with bidirectional link? I'd like to know.

Please try 2.1.78 or later. If there's problem please let me know.
